onejayhawk Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 No one mentioned Larry Csonka? No Beastmode? But, yes. Christian Okoye was a beast. He seemed to run with his pads two feet off the ground. Those OL pads were a signature and pretty scary. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Honestly can't say for the old timers, but a few names that come to mind that haven't been mentioned. Brandon Jacobs, Marshawn Lynch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwibrown Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Watching football, having a fullback in gives too much away. just crowd the line of scrimmage and hit the line hard. have someone on each WR and one deep safety and one read to bail, and you will probably do ok. but those great fullbacks were cool, I wonder where they have all gone, it is not like they have other sport potential. they didn't turn into basketballers.

NVRamsFan Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Jim Brown Earl Campbell Christian Okoye Steven Jackson probably some good other names but those are probably my top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Jacobs, Marshawn Lynch. Yeah. Brandon Jacobs absolutely deserves a mention. Alstott was the first thing that came to mind for me, along with some of the other usual suspects. Bettis, etc. I feel like giving Peyton Hillis a brief, one year only mention because that was still one of my favourite flash in the pan moments of weirdness in the NFL and he definitely ran some people over that year.

Mike Alstott was a good one, at times he flashed the potential of a Riggins or Bettis. But Alstott had fumbling issues, and the Bucs couldn't trust him to be the focal point of the attack, even after Dunn left. Certainly had value as a receiver, and short yardage specialist, but isn't the HOF candidate some make him out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
